New English Translation

37 Now[a] a great windstorm[b] developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped. 38 But[c] he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?” 39 So[d] he got up and rebuked[e] the wind, and said to the sea,[f] “Be quiet! Calm down!” Then[g] the wind stopped, and it was dead calm.
